Nan Li
I am a PhD candidate in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing in the Natural Language Processing group at Utrecht University, advised by Prof. Massimo Poesio and Prof. Albert Gatt.
My research takes a perspectivist view of meaning: interpretation depends on the information and perspectives available to each interlocutor. I am broadly interested in dialogue, grounding, and how language and vision-language models represent meaning variation.
My work is part of DeMeVa and is funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) through the AiNed Fellowship Grant. I hold bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Computational Linguistics, both from Peking University, under the supervision of Prof. Weidong Zhan. I also interned at the Institute of Computational Linguistics at Peking University, working with Prof. Zhifang Sui.
